I found a "Linksys EtherFast LANmodem 56K (PCMLM56)", which is a combo card compatible with cnet.device

The price for this card is 44 US dollars. Is it a good price? Maybe it's more expensive because it's a combo card, but I couldn't find any other compatible card over here (well ,I did find a guy with a compatible 3Com card for 20 dolars, but he has a veeery bad rating and refusesto give me a refund in case the card doesnt work with my Amiga).

Stop making fun of my avatar! I gotta admit, I haven't even played much of the game but I needed a quick avatar so I just loaded up the game and grabbed it. Maybe I'll find a new one but I'm kind of attached to the little guy now.

Hey I LOVE the Bonk games, it's a fabulous game series

echo: the fact that it didn't fit and you had to force it is a good indicator that it was not compatible :P The 3Com I tried out didn't fit because it was a Cardbus type of card. Dunno the precise technical differences that being "Cardbus" means, but I know they don't work. Why did you buy it if it was not in the cnet.device compatibility list?

"Cardbus" is a 32-bit version of PCMCIA (PCMCIA-III?). It is backwardly-compatible with 16-bit PCMCIA-II cards, but PCMCIA-II slots (ie. that used in the Amiga) cannot use the new 32-bit cards. The shape of the card is slightly different.

As for the cnet.device list, it is getting old - it doesn't include every available card, and includes many cards that are no longer available.

Yup I found out about Cardbus after a google search and a visit to Farallon's website. I bet Echo got a Cardbus card, and probably he fried it, because he cutted the plastic and inserted it anyway (if what I read is right, the Amiga's port should be delivering 5V while these Cardbus cards work at 3.3V)

Hmm, that plastic notch was there for a reason then. I thought it was just Commodore and their cheapy moulding.

Reason I bought it despite not being on cnet's compatibility list is because I've been looking for true compatibles for ages and never found one. Thought I'd risk a new £12 card on the hope that it'd work.

I think less than a year old is pretty good for an Amiga driver. Harry doesn't just add any NE2000 based card, only ones that have been tested. That, and there probably aren't a lot of new 16b cards on the market.
